Semaglutide is a type of medication called a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, used for the treatment of obesity and diabetes. In a pre-filled pen form, semaglutide is supplied as a ready-to-use injection, offering patients convenience and consistent dosing.

The compounded semaglutide pre-filled pen you have been prescribed contains the same active pharmaceutical ingredient as brand-name forms of semaglutide.
